Ms. Shannon, 82, of Meridian left this earthly home to be with her Lord in Heaven on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018, at Diversicare of Meridian.
She worked at the Lauderdale County Agri-Center, but she loved her volunteer work at Anderson Hospital's Cancer Center. She felt that she received a gift from those that she had the honor of helping. Before her health failed, she also enjoyed cooking for her church and her community. She loved teaching her Sunday School class and singing with the Singing Saints.
Mrs. Shannon was preceded in death by her son, Jimmy; brothers, Edward White, Johnny White, James White, Andy White; and one sister, Dot LaBlanc.
She is survived by one sister, Katherine Daniels of Bailey; one brother, Benny White of Stonewall; her niece Barbara Stinson of Bailey, as well as numerous other nieces and nephews; her many friends and her church families.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations are made to Anderson Regional Medical Center's Cancer Patient Benevolence Fund.
